Tower of Power

For 57 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music.

“We were a Soul band called The Motowns,” recalls Emilio Castillo. “Rocco was the bass player, I was there, and my brother was the drummer.

I met “Doc” Kupka back in 1968, and gave him an audition. He came in the band, and we eventually changed our name to the Tower of Power.” The reason for the band name change was that they had a specific goal in mind.

The 70's were a boom period with radio classics like "So Very Hard to Go” and “What Is Hip?,” and the band continued to tour and record over the years.

Castillo says their love of the stage is the same today as it was back in 1968.
